Psalm 19 – v2

Words, again and again the psalmist adds
words about words, the
speech of creation, the birthing
words of the Lord, the Creator speaking
So beautiful the language
of honeycombs and the sweetness of the Law
dripping from our lips, our lives,
Finally, turning to us, to keep
away from folly, from arrogance,
from loose tongues, from quick words that can hurt
He completes the song with the familiar words
words that start many a sermon, words in prayer
that they may be pleasing, acceptable
to the Creator, to our God,
that they may inspire, teach, lead
the flock closer to You

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and
the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
